We use hyaluronic acid (HA) is a type of temporary dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally through out the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin. In the skin hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated. As we age, the fat, muscles, bone, and skin in our face begins to thin. This loss of volume leads to either a sunken or sagging appearance of the face, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and thin lips. Injectable HA is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, facial folds, and to create structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips. The effects of injectable hyaluronic acid are seen immediately.

Kybella is a formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that destroys fat cells in the targeted area. Kybella reduces fat gradually, and patients may have anywhere from three to six treatments spaced one month apart to achieve their desired results. The inflammatory process that Kybella triggers is also responsible for creating a tightening effect in addition to the fat loss. The destruction of the cells prevent that area from storing or accumulating fat in the future. With Kybella, after the treatment’s series are complete, re-treatment is usually not necessary, and the most common side effects are mild and limited to the treatment area..
